On Monday, Hasbro revealed a pair of new Star Wars Black Series figures from the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Both will be Walmart exclusives (ugh), cost $27.99 (UGH), and go up for preorder on July 18 at 10:00 AM ET. The figures are expected to allegedly be available at retail this fall.
Qui-Gon Jinn (Force Spirit)
Hasbro’s official description:
At the end of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s long journey, he encounters the spirit of his old friend and mentor: venerable Jedi Master and student of the living Force, Qui-Gon Jinn. Fans and collectors can display this fully articulated figure featuring premium detail and multiple points of articulation in their collection.
Notice how they don’t say anything about “entertainment-inspired accessories.” That’s because there are none. This would normally cross any overpriced exclusive figure off my potential buy list, but my wife is a huge Qui-Gon fan. That said, there’s no way I’m preordering on July 18. Walmart has canceled far too many of my orders to trust the process again anytime soon.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Legend)
Hasbro’s official description:
Emerging from his darkest days stronger and more hopeful than ever, Obi-Wan Kenobi looks towards the future and fulfilling his obligation to steward the Skywalker legacy. Fans and collectors can display this fully articulated figure featuring premium detail and multiple points of articulation in their collection. Includes figure and 2 entertainment-inspired accessories including Obi-Wan’s Lightsaber.
Although still grossly overpriced, this is a fantastic figure with some really cool accessories — including the Skyhopper model ship that Obi-Wan gives to Luke. You better believe I’ll be picking this one up…if it ever goes on sale/clearance.
